Episode 255- Never Stop Searching

And we're back!

We open with Carlos proving that he's better with space transportation than Earth transportation, because he totally fixes the red Galaxy Glider. He stumbles upon Andros watching a video (who shot this video, we have no idea, don't try to throw logic into Power Rangers) of Tiny Children with Horrible Hair. Tiny Boy makes a ball for Tiny Girl to practice telekinesis on. Tiny Boy runs to catch the ball and Tiny Girl screams for Andros. Tiny Boy Andros runs after her, only to discover her taken by some dark shadow. He asks Deca to help him figure out who the dark shadow is, because he's never going to stop searching for his sister. Andros has a sad! And now Carlos, having seen the video, has a sad for Andros. He can't stop thinking about the Tiny Children. Andros continues to search for lifeforms. He tries going back to KO-35, in a galaxy which has apparently been deserted. Hello other Convenient Plot Device!

Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull are traveling with the Professor. He tells them about aliens hatching and hands grabbing and poor Bulk has an overactive imagination. They stumble upon a watermelon the Professor is sure is an alien. Oh, Professor. Bulk throws the watermelon in fear and it breaks over the three of them, an actual watermelon.

Back in space, Andros has reached KO-35. He shutes down to the deserted planet to see if he can find his sister. It's creepily empty. And there is no sign of Karone. Carlos can't sleep and goes to eat breakfast with the others... and their colour coded napkins. Andros is nowhere to be found and the red Galaxy Gilder is gone. Carlos explains what he learned about Andros the previous night, even though he's not supposed to know any of it and even though he hasn't talked to Andros about sharing this VERY PERSONAL SECRET. He decides to go check up on Andros.

Ecliptor has come to destroy KO-35 and is delighted to find Andros there already. He goes down to the planet to attack Andros. Why he didn't just blow up the planet with Andros on it I have no idea. You'd think that would be the easiest, quickest way to get rid of him... especially since he wouldn't know the attack was coming until the planet was all exploded around him.

Luckily Carlos came down to see how Andros was doing, because he interrupts the fight just in time to save Andros. He even jumps in front of Andros to save him from a direct hit! Good lord this is hitting ALL my favourite tropes. Andros drags poor Carlos back to Deca to help him. I didn't ship it before, but I SO DO NOW.

Andros, being Emo Ranger with the Saddest Sad in All the Land, blames himself for Carlos. Aw, guilt. He refuses help and goes back to fight Elciptor all on his own again. Oh Andros. You need to learn to work with your team! Lucky for him they aren't about to let him deal with this on his own, so Cassie, Ashley, and TJ go after him once they realize he's missing. Even Carlos joins the fight, despite being beat all to hell and barely able to stand on his feet. HE WILL NOT LET HIS TEAM FIGHT ALONE! AW, CARLOS! He's also the smartest because he totally set up Alpha and Deca to use the Megaships weapons to blast Ecliptor from space.

Back on the Megaship, Andros apologizes for getting Carlos hurt. Carlos tells him he knows about Karone and if Andros will let them, they will help him find his sister. Because they're a team. And that's what they do. Andros acknowledges they work well together as a team and accepts the help. Aw.



Covered in food: Bulk, Skull, and the Professor covered in watermelon. I wish we didn't have to bring this back.
